DESCRIPTIONThis is a lovely country property enjoying a rural but not isolated setting in the heart of the stunningly beautiful Ettrick Valley, some seventeen miles from Selkirk, an area of great attraction to tourists and sought after by many as an ideal spot in which to have a holiday home, for private or commercial purposes. The locale enjoys a good sense of community, with activities in the nearby village hall, and there is a little shop just metres from the house catering for every day needs. Nelwyn is the mid cottage in a small terrace of three, and it has been occupied by the same owners for some thirty years. The house has been greatly improved upon during this time, including reconfiguration to the layout and the addition of a conservatory to the rear, and it has an interesting and slightly quirky layout with much charm and character. The garden at the rear is an excellent size with the feel of tranquillity enhanced by the sound of running water coming from a little burn running along the rear boundary. A really pleasing feature is the secluded courtyard garden, which is reached off the lounge via patio doors, giving a lovely and conveniently placed extra sitting area. Viewing of this very appealing cottage comes highly recommended.
